36-year old Maria Menounos opened up to American Health magazine about how she maintains her fit body.

When asked about her attempts to lose weight in the past, the Greek-American said: “I never told anybody I was on a diet. I didn’t tell myself! That’s the key. I just wrote down everything I ate for a week and assessed my problem—it was carbs. So I made a 10 percent rule in my head: If I was eating seven slices of pizza, I would cut back to six. It was so hard to not reach for that seventh, but I was still eating what I wanted, just one less. When six got easy, I went down to five. When I got down to two slices of pizza and I was still kind of hungry, I’d throw in a salad.”

“If I were to take my jeans off right now, you would see pre-cellulite. It doesn’t look that good, but I’m OK with that. We’re all human” confessed the Greek-American presenter.

Regarding the gym, she noted: “I’m always figuring out a way to work out throughout my day so I don’t have to go. I have my yoga mat and exercise bar in my office, so I can do a full workout in 15 minutes. I also balance my meals with my movement. I’m a rocket. I’m like shoom to the bathroom, shoom to the office. I actually put a pedometer on. At the base I get 10,000 steps a day, but on certain days I’m getting 18,000 steps. I’m burning everything I’m eating.”
